alive and complain of the pain of that sore in the time of the fifth Vial. 6. The last Seal is the longest Seal of all for it contains under it all the Prophecies in the Revelation from the beginning of the eighth Chapter to the end of the Book so the seventh Trumpet is the longest Trumpet and comprehends under it all the Prophecies in the Revelation from the fifteenth verse of the eleventh Chapter to the end of the Book and so thirdly the last Vial is the longest Vial and all the Prophecies in the Revelation from the seventeenth verse of the sixteenth Chapter to the end of the Revelation belong unto it and when I say the Vials are of short continuance it is to be understood of the sik first Vials and of so much only of the seventh as reacheth from the seventeenth verse of this sixteenth Chapter to the beginning of the twentieth CHAP. XVII The Prophecy concerning Babylon and the destruction of it 1. AND one of the seven Angels which had the essusion of the seven Vials in my Vision and shall have the execution of them when they are to be executed came unto me in my Vision and talked with me saying come hither and I will shew thee the destruction of the great Whorish City which at the commencement of this seventh Vial shall rule over many Nations and who they be that shall destroy her 2. With whom the Kings of the earth shall commit Idolatry and the Inhabiters of the same shall be made drunk with her spiritual and also with her corporal Fornication 3. So he took me aside and carried me in a Vision of my mind into the Wilderness where I saw a woman representing not what was then in being but what shall be hereafter sitting upon a Scarlet coloured Beast full of names of Blasphemy many ways committed against God and Jesus Christ and the Beast had seven heads and ten Horns representing what should be hereafter 4. And the woman which I saw was arrayed in costly apparel of Purple and Scarlet colour and decked with Gold and pretious Stones and Pearls and she had a cup of Gold in her hand representing still what should be hereafter full of abominable sins and wickedness and also most grievous and loathsome Fornication 5. And in her forehead she had a name written declaring what manner of City she should be not perspicuously but in a mystery Babylon the great the Mother of Whoredoms and vile abominations of the earth 6 And besides all this I saw the Woman exceeding drunk with the blood of the Saints of God and of the Martyrs of Jesus Christ and when I saw she was such a one I wondred greatly with exceeding admiration what this Woman should mean 7. And as I was thus wondring in my mind the Angel said unto me wherefore didst thou wonder and continue in so doing I will tell thee what is meant by this wicked woman and what is meant by the Beast that beareth her which hath seven heads and ten Horns 8. The Beast which thou sawest is a King which shall have a Crown and loose it and obtain his Crown again and then go into Perdition and never have a being any more he shall have a Crown before the seventh Vial shall commence he shall loose it a little after the commencement of it and obtain the same again and go into Perdition too before this seventh Vial shall be ended and all the Inhabitants of the earth which were not elected to Salvation shall wonder at it when they see the Beast which shall have a Crown and loose it to obtain his Crown again 9. And this is the sense and meaning of the Vision the seven heads be seven Mountains upon which the City shall be built 10. And they do also signifie seven Kings five of them shall fall and be dead and gone before the seventh Vial shall commence the sixth shall be alive at the commencement of that Vial and the seventh is then to be expected and when he cometh to the Crown he shall enjoy it but a little while 11. And the Beast which shall have a Crown and loose it he shall be the eighth King and succeed the seventh and yet be of the number of the seven too and go into Perdition and be no more for ever 12. And the ten Horns which thou sawest the Beast to have do also signifie ten Kings which as yet have not received a Kingdom nor shall have any one before the Beast hath lost his and recovered it again and then they shall receive power to Reign as Kings in one Kingdom one hour with the Beast and this shall be when the seventh Vial shall commence and in the time of it and not before 13. And though they be ten yet they shall have but one mind and adhere unto the Beast with one consent and give their Warlike power and strength to the assistance of the Beast till the rebellious City be destroyed 14. And yet we may not think that they be Christian Kings for after this is done they shall fight against the Lamb and the Lamb shall overcome them in the War and though they be Kings themselves yet he is a greater King then they even the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and they that be with him and on his side be chosen and better Souldiers then any the ten Kings have and also Faithful to him too 15. And the Angel also told me what is meant by the waters upon which the woman sitteth and he said unto me that they do signifie multitudes of People and Nations of divers Languages 16. And the ten Horns which thou sawest the Beast to have be they which shall hate the Whore not for her Religion but for her Rebellion against the Beast and make her desolate and naked without Inhabitants and slay her People with the Sword and burn her Houses with fire 17. And that which shall make them do it is because God shall put it into their hearts to fulfill his mind and will and agree together to give their Kingdom to the Beast until the City be destroyed and no longer 18. And the woman which thou sawest doth signifie the great imperial City which at the commencement of this seventh Vial shall have Dominion over the Kings and Nations of the earth and then it shall be known by name what this wicked Idolatrous and Blasphemous City is Disputation XII 1 Quest Whether Babylon be the City of Rome Arguments for the Affirmative §. 1. 1. The City which sits on seven Hills is Babylon as appears v. 9. but Rome and no other City in the World sits on seven hills the names of them are these the Capitoline Palatine Caelian Aventine Esquiline Viminal and Quirinal therefore 2. The City which hath seven heads that is seven kinds of Governours successively one after another is the City Babylon ' mentioned in this place v. 10. but Rome and no other City in the World hath seven heads that

Dan. 7.21 22.25 Now who are meant by the Saints in Daniel but the Jews 4. VVe read in the same Book that Daniels people shall be in great troubles such as never was since there was a Nation Dan. 12.1 Now from whom shall they have this trouble if not from the Beast here spoken of 5. VVe read in the Prophet Micah According to the days of thy coming out of the Land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous things the Nations shall see and be confounded c. Micah 7.15 16. Now the plagues which shall fall upon the Beast are many of them the very same for kind with the plagues of Egypt therefore as the plagues of Egypt fell upon them for the wrong they did unto the Jews so the plagues which shall light upon the Beast shall fall upon him and his people for the persecution of that Nation 6. After the parturition of the woman in the former Chapter v. 12. the Devil knows he hath but a short time and therefore the Beast who is raised by him afterward has but a short time too Now if we look upon the Beasts which are in the world at this time whether Turks or any other they have continued a long time and therefore this prophecy is not meant of any of them but remains to be expected upon the Jews Conversion 7. The Beasts which now are in the world came to their height and eminency by long and tedious wars and by the ruines of other Nations but this Beast is raised on a sudden by the Devils art and policy as you may read v. 2.4 and there are such strange courses taken such witchcraft and inchantment used such signs and wonders shewed such cunning and deceitful tricks invented and such a strange mark imposed by the second Beast to make men adhere unto the first Beast as you may read v. 12 13 14 15 16 17. as never yet was known take them all together at the rising of any Beast since the world began to this very day nor will be till the Jews Conversion and the rising of this enemy of theirs the Beast here spoken of The conclusion therefore is The Antichrist of St. John St. Pauls Man of sin and the Beast here spoken of be not all one The Antichrists of St. John be the false Christs that our Saviour speaks of in the Gospel Mat. 24.24 which should start up before and after the destruction of Jerusalem 1 Joh. 2.18.22 and 4.3.2 Joh. 7. The Man of sin spoken of by St. Paul is avouched by some and denied by others to be the Pope of Rome of which see those that have written on that subject But the first Beast here spoken of is a Heathen King or Emperour raised by the Devil to war against the Jews after their Conversion and the second Beast is a Witch as Balaam was raised by the Devil and imployed by the first Beast as Balaam was by Balak to help him and assist him and do mighty things for him and for his settlement in his Kingdom v. 12 13 14 15 16 17. and for the ruine of the Jewish Nation Chap. 16.13 14. CHAP. XIV The Prophecy of the Virgin Company 1. THen was presented unto me in a Vision what shall come to pass after the three days and a half allotted to the Beasts prosperity shall be ended and I saw a Lamb representing Jesus Christ stand on Mount Sion and with him an hundred forty and four thousand of the Jewish Nation spoken of before but to another purpose in the seventh Chapter who notwithstanding the power and prevalency of the Beast shall boldly profess the Name of Christ and have it and his Fathers Name besides legibly written in their Foreheads 2. And I heard a voice out of Heaven as the sound of many Waters and as the sound of a great and mighty Thunder and after that the voice of Harpers making pleasant Melody with their Harps 3. And they sung a new Song before the Throne of God and before the four living Creatures and before the four and twenty Elders which Song shall be sung by none that be upon the earth but by the one hundred forty and four thousand which shall be redeemed from the rest that be upon the earth 4. These be they which shall not be defiled with Women for they shall be Virgins and unmarried Persons these be they which shall wait and attend upon the Lamb as a Lifeguard doth upon their Prince whithersoever he shall go these shall be redeemed from the rest of men as being the first Fruits to God and to the Lamb of the Jewish Nation 5. These be they which shall be without guile fraud and deceit and without stain of hainous sin in the sight of God The Prolcamation of the first Angel 6. And I saw an Angel flie in the midst between the Heaven and the Earth with a commission to preach proclaim and make known and publish the everlasting Gospel of Jesus Christ to the inhabitants of Judaea and to every Nation and Kindred and Tongue and People that shall be therein 7. Saying and proclaiming with a loud voice as he shall flie along Fear God and give him Glory for the hour of his Judgment is come and will shortly fall on all that fear not him worship not the Beast nor yeild obeisance unto him in the way that he goeth in opposition to the Gospel of Jesus Christ but worship him alone that made the Heaven and the Earth and the Sea and the Fountains of Waters The Proclamation of the second Angel 8. And another Angel followed after him proclaiming and saying Babylon is fallen is fallen meaning thereby that she shall shortly fall and come to nought because she made all Nations drink of the bitter Wine of her spiritual Fornication The Proclamation of the third Angel 9. And the third Angel followed after them proclaiming and saying with a loud voice If any worship the first Beast or his carved Image or take an Oath to be true and faithful unto him and receive a mark in their right hand or in their Foreheads in token that they have so done 10. The same shall drink of the bitter VVine of the wrath of God without mixing any thing therein to allay the sharpness of it and shall be tormented with Fire and Brimstone in the sight and presence of the Holy Angels and in the sight and presence of the Lamb. 11. And the smoke of their torment shall ascend for ever and never have an end and they shall be tormented Day and Night without ceasing or intermission which worship the first Beast or his carved Image or take an engagement to be true and faithful unto him and receive the print of his Name in token that they have so done 12. Here will be the tryal of the patience of the Saints which are living in Judaea when the Beasts engagement comes among them then it will be known who they be which keep the Commandments of the Lord
